Mind
Philosophy is a noble pursuit if you intend to use your expertise to share enlightenment with those who do not have the luxury of conscience to invest time into puzzling through those myriad realities. But it is an exercise in ego and control to take it upon oneself to manipulate those without your vocabulary through a role playing scenario, sexualized for your own perverse enjoyment because you can't get what you want in the real world, in order to tell someone else what they believe through what category your put them in. Like organized religion, the moral box is not "one size fits all", which is why there will never be a unified theory of philosophy, unlike physics which may be used to answer some philosophical riddles, but will never uncover what is really going on. What we value is what is ultimately the tell all of our character, and the word, as we know, has been appropriated. But I can take it back as much as anyone, so I will. If you value peace, you are one kind of person. If you value a perpetual war, you are another. That is one model that can be used to split the human race in two, although all models eventually fail, because no metaphor is complete [another misunderstanding standing in the way of clarity]. Whether it is a war on terror or a war on power, or even a war on war, you are an advocate of collateral damage of one kind or another. If you want peace, you want peace. Let the warriors kill each other. Leave me out of it. You can say this is selfish because it doesn't do enough to help get other peace lovers out of the warriors' path, but that is not true, as peace is only a wish. Abandonment is never an option. But planning a better rescue strategy is never a bad idea. If you do nothing to value your own safety, you are dishonoring the endangered, and devaluing their lives along with your own. Disagreeing with another rescuer on strategy is never a reason to halt the process, nor call to accuse them of treachery. You can use another model of the human race to divide us into two categories, or a billion, depending on how much detail you want, but at some point it becomes less than useful.
Assume no guess was wrong. The verification process is just a step.
